Visiting The Henry Ford Greenfield Village

When on vacation in Michigan, in July, I enjoyed visiting The Henry Ford Greenfield Village, in Dearborn, MI. I loved taking a 13 minute ride in a model T that was smooth and quiet, with low RPMs. My Model T driver looked like the 1940s actor and singer, Danny Kaye. He shared some insights about Henry Ford and the Model T, which was manufactured from 1908-1927, with over 15 million produced. Greenfield Village is a very charming place and at the end of the day, you don't want to leave.

My Model T driver, pictured above, said that Henry Ford liked to talk to small-town farmers and businessmen and explain to them how switching from a horse & buggy to a practical automobile will expand and enlarge your familiar world, exponentially. When I finished my Model T ride, I had a full-feeling inside.

Two days after visiting Greenfield Village, I saw a 2011 Ford Focus in downtown Saugatuck, MI. After being charmed by the Model Ts, the all new Ford Focus seemed to be charming, as well. I have never been a Ford fan but visiting The Henry Ford Greenfield Village, in Dearborn, MI, kind of gets you into the mood. :-)

Rob, of ClearGraphics

In 1983 I graduated from the Ringling SchooI of Art, in Sarasota, Fl. I got married to Linda in 1997 and we had our first child, Aaron, in 2001. We had our second child, Jennifer, in 2003. I bike ride less since I started having kids. In 1989 I was run over by a teenage driver while bike riding. I was thrown 12 feet and received a compressed third thoracic vertebra and recovered. I don't boldly claim my right of way around cars like I used to. I bike ride defensively now. Rails-to-trials bike paths go real well with me also. When I worked at an ad agency in the mid to late 1990's, I worked on a lot of brochures for Thompson Publishing. I loved some of the book cover designs they used and I knew I would love to design book covers some day. In recent years, self-published authors have been coming to me to design their book covers for print and ePub. So the book cover design part of my business has been growing. I work at home. The parlor by the front entrance of my house is my design studio. I enjoy solving design problems for my customers.
